According to the2016 Census, 11,845 Canadians claimed that they had full or partial Breton ancestry. However, theAmicale des Parents d'Émigrés d'Amérique du Nord (Association of Relatives of Emigrants to North America), an organisation headquartered inGourin,Brittany, has estimated that around 45,000 Bretons immigrated to Canada between the years of 1870 and 1980 and that 8,000 Breton Canadians live or work in theMontreal area. Moreover, many of the settlers during the French colonial era would hail from Brittany.
